So the time has come to close up shop. I have migrated all of the files from this page over to their new home. This page will stay up since I don't have control to do otherwise. I just won't be adding anything more to it. The files here have been archived and comment thread locked. 

The current files (and all future updates) can be found Here.

  



   Settlements of Cyrodiil - Silverfish Falls



Before industrialization the main occupation of people, for ALL civilizations, has been agriculture.
Without a reliable source of food, no empire could fuel it's troops or civilian population for long.
Cyrodiil is vast, boasting 9 fortified cities and an immense population. Yet where does all the food
come from to feed that population?

Settlements of Cyrodiil is an attempt to answer that question. The project first began as an effort
to rescue some very nice farm and village mods that had gone to the wayside so to speak. Some of
these had fallen victim to un-patched conflicts with larger, more popular mods. Others were unfinished
beta releases that the original authors simply abandoned.


Details
=========

Silverfish Falls adds a fully functioning settlement on the way to Morrowind, near the headwaters of
the Silverfish River. It was originally created by Poolacemail, titled Lakeview Village, and was situated
at the pond near the Ayleid Ruins of Mackamentain. It unfortunately occupied exactly the same real
estate as Shezrie's Lakewood Village, and also suffered mod conflicts with Unique Landscapes Aspen
Wood. This meant the only realistic fix was moving everything.

So the settlement was completely relocated and given an extensive makeover. Mod conflicts have been
greatly reduced and patches are available for the only conflicts I am aware of. Additional resources are
added to flesh it out a little more. The architecture is a unique combination of Cheydinhal and common
farmhouse. The occupants have full ai packages and can be seen performing various tasks throughout
the day. They raise several different types of crops and tend a small herd of swine. There is at least one
adventurer who travels afield to hunt deer.

My focus has been to give the appearance of a working settlement that lives off of what it produces.
Local vendors sell what they raise and provide several services to travelers. You will find a Blacksmith,
an Inn, and a General Store. The Smith carries the unique weapons & armor featured in the mod: Knightly
Armory by Phitt and Ghogiel. There is a Room to rent at the Inn for a fair price. The Lord of Silverfish
Manor graciously allows members of the Fighter's Guild to sleep for free in the basement. There is a free
bed there for you, provided you are at least Journeyman level. Some NPC's also serve as trainers.

While I have done my best to iron out all the glitches, it seems there is always something to fix. I welcome
all feedback and constructive criticism. Hopefully you will enjoy visiting this place as much as I did.


Location
==========

The path leading to the settlement can be found on the Unnamed, Unmarked Road that leads east
towards Morrowind from the Yellow Road. I have added in signposts to aid in finding your way. The
settlement can be found at the waterfall pond located south of Ondo Ayleid Ruins and North of Lost
Boy Caverns. There is a map marker, but you will have to hoof it there at least once to "discover" the
settlement.


Requirements
================

Oblivion patched to 1.2.0416
Settlements of Cyrodiil Resource Pack v1.3 


Install
=======

1. Extract to Oblivion Data folder either manually or using the mod manager of your choice.

Load Order
=============

Suggest using BOSS to set load order. All of these files are already recognized.
Specific Load Order instructions are included with each read-me file as well. 


Compatibility
================

May conflict with other mods and patches which edit the same game cells. 

Compatibility patches are available for Griffon Fortress, Unique Landscapes-Silverfish River
Valley, and Integration: The Stranded Light. There are two versions of the Integration patches
due to there being two different versions of the Integration mod. Folders are labeled accordingly
in the download.
